WWF's mystery parcel
WWF's Large Mystery Parcel is marked down to a tenner, and has £50 worth of "top quality lucky dip goods". The parcel has anything from ethical cleaning goods to fair trade clothing, and allows you to play Christmas in July by getting yourself a brown-wrapped box of secret goodies. (My cats want a brown-wrapped box of fair-trade salmon so I won't be ordering it; more for the fortunate few of you who hustle on over and click your way to a box of fun.) [GT]

I gave it a try. The parcel arrived today and it's very large. Unfortunately it's just loads
of packaging. Giving the fact that it comes from WWF I would expect more attention to these details. So i did open the box, moved the padding paper to find a big padded envelope and finally the merchandise, some of it wrapped in more paper. It's quite funny to open the box not knowing what to expect, but it wasn't the big bargain it claimed to be. Nonetheless not so bad to send it back. But i think i got what i paid for, 10£ worth of last year surplus. Overall if your expectations aren't too high it's still feasible but they risk someone is going to take them to court with that £50 worth ad.
